Yum in RHEL5

Hello all,

I am trying to build my own yum repository to make packages of my
choice available for distribution within my organization. I have a set
of packages that I are not part of the official distribution. I am
quite at home with the procedure in earlier Redhat versions, but with
RHEL5 (the first version to use yum) I am hitting a roadblock.

Here is what I have:

I have an RPM package: cronolog-1.6.2-10.pg.x86_64.rpm. It installs
cleanly on my test system (rpm -U --test).

I created a directory, /home/testrepo/RPMS and copied this RPM there.

I ran createrepo:

[root@meibok ~]# createrepo /home/testrepo/RPMS
1/1 - cronolog-1.6.2-10.pg.x86_64.rpm
Saving Primary metadata
Saving file lists metadata
Saving other metadata

I created a file in /etc/yum.repos.d:

[root@meibok ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo
[test]
name = Test Repo
baseurl = file:///home/testrepo/RPMS
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 0

I also disabled a lot of features from the default yum install of
RHEL, in particular:

I disabled rhel5.repo and rhel-debuginfo.repo
I disabled the plugin for RHN in rhnplugin.conf
I edited my yum.conf to read:

[root@meibok ~]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=10
errorlevel=10
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

Now, when I run yum:

[root@meibok ~]# yum info cronolog
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
"rhnplugin" plugin is disabled

That's all. What am I doing wrong or missing? Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks,
